Best for
  • LLM applications that need anime/manga data from AniList.
  • Integrating anime-related information into chatbots or assistants.
  • Scenarios that require managing user lists and preferences.
  • Privacy-conscious developers who want local data storage.
  • Researchers who need AI-assisted management of large note collections.
  • Users of Markdown editors like Obsidian.
Not for
  • Simple applications that don't need AniList data or want to avoid external API dependencies.
  • Privacy-sensitive users because some operations require a token.
  • Users who prefer other anime databases (e.g., MAL).
  • Users needing cloud sync and mobile access (unless using the paid cloud service).
  • Minimalists who want zero configuration.
  • Scenarios requiring large-scale vector databases and complex retrieval (local SQLite may be insufficient).
Required permissions
  • Read AniList public data.
  • Perform authenticated operations (e.g., modifying user lists, posting activities, favoriting) when ANILIST_TOKEN is provided.
  • Stored token is used for API requests.
  • Read and write to the local filesystem (default: ~/basic-memory).
  • Perform file and directory operations (create, edit, delete).
  • Access local SQLite database (or Postgres/Milvus if configured).
Risks and side effects
  • Token leakage: If the server is public and unprotected, anyone could use your token.
  • Data accuracy depends on the AniList API.
  • Some operations (e.g., deleting activities) may be irreversible.
  • Tools have write operations that may unintentionally modify or delete notes.
  • Edit operations may overwrite existing content, though there are protections.
  • Semantic search and reranking features may require model downloads, adding latency.
  • Local data backups are the user's responsibility.
